This evaluation reviewed each institution's response systems for national emergencies and wartime situations. The assessment focused on verifying actual response capabilities rather than just the level of planning.

UNIST received high scores for its systematic operations and the practical applicability of its measures.

In carrying out its 2025 emergency preparedness work, UNIST operated the Eulji Exercise based on its own Chungmu 6000 plan. Major drills simulating wartime scenarios were conducted in stages. The university improved execution by checking response procedures for each situation.

During the training process, the ability to respond to various types of expected wartime incidents was enhanced. On-site decision-making became faster, and role assignments became clearer. Members' response capabilities were translated into practical actions.

These achievements stemmed from the way participation was structured. Rather than limiting emergency preparedness work to a specific department, UNIST established a response system in which all members participated. This approach fostered a culture of emergency preparedness throughout the organization.

Lee Jaecheon, Director of the Safety and Facility Management Division at UNIST, stated, "This institutional commendation is the result of our efforts to establish emergency preparedness not as a formality, but as a real response system," adding, "We will continue to strengthen our members' capabilities to respond to wartime and national emergencies."

UNIST plans to use this evaluation as an opportunity to further develop its emergency preparedness system into a sustainable operational structure. The university aims to establish a foundation for immediate response even in crisis situations.
